Notes | The altar depicts the legend of St. Hedwig of Silesia, mother of Henry II of Silesia, who died in the battle of Legnica. The central part of the altar got lost in WWII, originally the whole altar had 32 scenes from Hedwig's life. The first scenes deal with Hedwig's family and early life. In the battle between Christians and Mongols, the souls of the killed Christians are carried to heaven by angels, while those of Tartars are swallowed by hell. The Europen style of the Tartar armor may be due to an intended association with the Hussits, who at the time of the creation of the altar ravaged central Europe. The other scenes deal with Hedwigs religious and philantropic work. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
